No Small Matter is the first feature documentary to explore the most overlooked, underestimated, and powerful force for change in America today: early childhood education. Through poignant stories and surprising humor, the film lays out the overwhelming evidence for the importance of the first five years, and reveals how our failure to act on that evidence has resulted in an everyday crisis for American families, and a slow-motion catastrophe for the country.

What People Are Saying…

– Chicago Tribune
“No Small Matter smacked us in the heart and head.”
· Dallas Morning News
“[No Small Matter] ought to convince any skeptic that every child can benefit greatly from a good preschool, especially low-income children.”
